Old 32-bit AMD CPUs (all w/o L3 cache) should always return 0 for
cpuid_edx(0x80000006).
For unknown reason the 32-bit implementation differed from the 64-bit
implementation. See commit 67cddd947992b02f01ad093ec814738c5827d17c
(i386: Add L3 cache support to AMD CPUID4 emulation).
The current check is the result of the x86 merge.

For unknown reason the 32-bit implementation differed from the

support to AMD CPUID4 emulation"). The current check is the
result of the x86 merge.
